Students in Mr. Blackwelder's Japanese 1-2 class learned how to count from 1-99, how to
give their ages and formal self-introductions ("Hajimemashite!" "My name is..."
"Doozo Yoroshiku!"), and how to bow as a sign of respect when greeting. Students
also practiced their first five hiragana: a, i, u, e, and o. (あ、い、う、え、and
お)
